Local rivals Oxford Brookes and Oxford University raced two short pieces against each other on the Boat Race course in March 2019 in a warm up fixture three weeks ahead of the Boat Races on April 7th. In the fixture Oxford Brookes proved once again that they are the premier British university team currently, with two crushing victories over the Dark Blues.
